La feria in San Miguel Escobar

On the outskirts of Antigua and tucked into the foothills of Volcano Agua, is the town of San Miguel Escobar, a coffee-growing town rich in Catholic tradition and cultural pride, which comes alive every September as the community comes together to celebrate the annual “feria.” Every September 29th, the town honors its namesake, the heavenly host of angels and one of only three angels referred to by name in the New and Old Testament.
